- The Army is looking for a few good men. According to the RFP, "Professional Celebrity Rock Music Band, group not to exceed seven people for tour of FOB's in Kuwait and Afghanistan for February 4-13 2008. The band should be an active rock band, with a music genre consisting of Southern Rock, Pop Rock, Post-Grunge and Hard Rock. At least one member of the band should be recognizable as a professional celebrity. Protective military equipment, such as kevlar, body armour, eye and ear protection will be provided when the group is travelling on military rotary or fixed wing aircraft."
Furthermore, according to the formal solicitation, "The Offeror shall submit details, such as a biography or other promotional or media articles relating to the proposed Professional Celebrity Rock Group, identifying the 'professional celebrity' status of at least one member of the group." - Apparently, that one guy in the Mighty Mighty Bosstones who didn't sing, didn't play an instrument, and just hung out and danced and provided the vibe ... has a name. It's Ben Carr. Now, contrary to DeRo's and Kot's lofty opinion of him in the sideman/hypeman hierarchy, he's no Bez, and certainly no Jerome Benton. Agreed?
